Existence walked slowly along the glowing paths of the stars, his heart feeling heavy from everything that had happened lately. His mind was clouded with worry, and he couldn't shake off the dark feeling that his brother, Lucifer, was changing. The Creator's warning echoed in his mind, reminding him that something big was shifting, and it wasn't good.
Just then, Aura appeared by his side, her face filled with worry. "You feel it too, don't you?" she asked, her voice quiet. "Something in Lucifer has changed."
Existence nodded, stopping to look at her with sadness in his eyes. "Yes… He's pulling away from us. I feel like he's letting himself be drawn into something dark."
Aura's face grew more serious. "The path he's on… it feels dangerous, Existence. We should try to reach him, remind him of who he is, before it's too late."
Existence hesitated, wondering if Lucifer would even listen. But he knew he couldn't just ignore this. "I'll try," he said. "He's our brother. He deserves a chance to find his way back."
Meanwhile...,
in a dim, shadowy realm far from the stars, Lucifer stood alone, gazing into the endless darkness. Suddenly, the shadowy figure he had met before appeared again, shifting like a cloud of mist.
"You're looking for answers, aren't you, Lucifer?" the figure said, its voice soft and almost tempting. "Answers that the light won't give you."
Lucifer crossed his arms, his eyes narrowing. "The Creator talks about balance, yet He holds me back, limits me. Why should I accept these chains when I have the strength to break free?"
The shadowy figure's dark form seemed to smile. "Maybe the Creator fears your strength… fears what you could become if you were truly free."
Lucifer's eyes flickered with interest. "I am His first creation, but I am held back from what I could truly be. Tell me, if I choose a different path, what will I find?"
The shadow whispered, "A power even beyond the light… a throne of your own, free from the Creator's rules."
Lucifer felt his heart pound with excitement. For the first time, he allowed himself to think of a life where he could be free and powerful, beyond anything he had ever imagined.
Back in the celestial realms... ,
Existence and Aura had reached the boundary of Lucifer's dark domain. They called out to him, their voices echoing through the cosmos.
"Brother!" Existence's voice rang out. "Come back with us. This path you're on… it's leading to ruin."
Lucifer emerged from the shadows, his face unreadable. "Why are you here to hold me back? Haven't you ever questioned why the Creator keeps us so tightly controlled?"
Aura stepped forward, her voice full of worry. "He created us for a reason, Lucifer. We're here to bring harmony to the universe. Please, don't lose sight of that."
Lucifer shook his head, a faint smirk on his lips. "Harmony? You think this is harmony? I call it control! . The Creator fears what we could become if we broke free from His rules. Can't you see? We're just tools, created to play His game."
Existence softened his voice, hoping to reach the brother he once knew. "Lucifer, we're here to protect, not to destroy. We bring order, a balance in a world that could easily fall into chaos."
"Order," Lucifer scoffed. "If this is what you call order, maybe it's time we brought some chaos into this universe." His gaze hardened, filled with defiance. "If I'm denied my full potential, then I'll claim it on my own."
Aura's eyes filled with sadness and fear. "Please, Lucifer, don't do this. You're only isolating yourself further, pushing us away."
But Lucifer only turned away from them. "If you're too blind to see beyond your obedience, then you're no better than the walls that trap us. Maybe one day, you'll understand."
Existence felt his heart ache as he watched Lucifer walk away into the darkness, the light around him fading. "Is this truly what you want, Lucifer?"
Without a backward glance, Lucifer replied, "It's the only thing I've ever wanted—freedom! ."
As Lucifer vanished into the shadows, a deep silence fell between Existence and Aura. They stood there, letting the weight of what had just happened sink in.
Aura looked up at Existence, her voice trembling. "What if we've lost him, Existence? What if he never returns?"
Existence clenched his fists, determination filling his gaze. "If he keeps going down this path, we might have no choice… but to fight against him."
Existence watched as Lucifer disappeared into the shadows. His heart felt heavy, and a strange worry filled his mind. Had he truly lost his brother to darkness?
He looked over at Aura, who seemed to be troubled as he is. "We can't keep a blind eye to this anymore, Aura. If Lucifer keeps going against the Creator's balance, he is liable cause kaos."
Aura nodded, her voice soft and sad. "He's already changed so much, Existence. And I'm afraid he's only getting stronger."
As they retreat to their realms, Existence felt something odd in the surrounding. It was as if invisible eyes were watching them. There was a strange, quiet feeling around them, like a whisper from something ancient. He stopped, looking around, feeling uneasy.
Aura glanced at him, her eyes wide. "Do you feel that too? It's like… something big is watching us."
Before he could answer, a deep voice echoed through the stillness. It seemed to come from everywhere at once, powerful and mysterious.
"The Watchers have seen. The balance is shifting."
Existence with a little smile on his face. "The Watchers. I thought you guys dont speak! —silent guardians who watched over creation without getting involved. But now, you guys are awake after all this eons.
